PRAIRIE VIEW, Texas – The twelfth season veteran as the Prairie View A&M head women's track and field Coach, Angela Williams will serve as the assistant sprint coach for the IAAF World Relays, and the Sprint and Hurdles coach for the Pan American U-20 Athletics Championships.
 
A native of Trinidad and Tobago, Williams was a member of their Olympic teams, and had this to say, "It's really an honor for the USA Track and Field Committee to think of me as one of the coaches that's making a difference in the lives of our collegiate and potential pro athletes by selecting me as a person of choice to be on the coaching staff." 
 
Williams earned her first appointment as an international head women's track and field coach for team USA for the World University Games two years ago in Taipei, Taiwan. Due to medical reasons she was unable to attend. 
 
As a college freshman at Tennessee State, Williams competed in her first Olympic Games for her native country of Trinidad and Tobago. Their 4x100 meter relay team placed sixth. Williams transferred to Seton Hall University in 1986 where she earned Seton Hall's 1st All-American, All-Big East, All-East, All-ECAC and Olympic female athlete titles. As a senior at Seton Hall, Williams competed on her second Olympic Team in the 100- and 200-meter races.

In 1991, Williams accomplished a No. 9 world ranking at the World Indoor Nationals at 200 Meters. In 1992, she competed in the United States Olympic Trials in the 100- and 200-Meters. In 1993, she was a member on the 4x200-meter indoor American record-breaking team. In 1996 Williams competed in her last Olympic Trials and her last track and field competition.

In 2006, Williams was inducted into the Seton Hall University Athletic Hall of Fame and is also an Olympian.

After retirement, Williams began her second career as a teacher and coach, at Ollie Middle School in Alief, Texas from 1996-2002 and at Thurgood Marshall High School in Missouri City, Texas from 2002-2007.
 
She will begin her journey May 11-12 at the 2019 IAAF World Relays in Yokohama, Japan and will continue coaching at the 2019 Pan American U-20 Athletics Championship from July 18 to July 21 in San Jose, Costa Rica.
